Fluid Hose Recommendations
Ransburg recommends using a 78548-XX fluid
hose assembly. This assembly is made to spe-
cifically fit the fluid fitting size engineered into
the applicator. This hose is available from your
authorized Ransburg distributor. Available hose
lengths are listed in "Accessories" in the "Parts
Identification" section of this manual.
Air and Fluid Hose Installation
The fluid inlet fitting for the Vector applicator is
3/8-18 NPSM(M). When installing a fluid hose,
tighten the fitting adequately to prevent any fluid
leaks. The air inlet fitting is 1/4-18 NPSM(M).
When installing the air hose, use a wrench to hold
the air inlet fitting on the Vector and tighten the
air hose fitting enough to prevent any air leaks.
Routing of Air and Fluid Hoses
Starting at the applicator, route the air hose along
the same path as the high voltage cable to the
power supply. The fluid hose can be run with the
high voltage cable and air hose or it can be sep-
arate and run to the fluid source. Do not expose
the hoses to high temperatures (over 120°F) and/
or conditions such as moving parts, foot traffic,
vehicle traffic, etc.
† Any user supplied fluid hose must be rat-
ed at a minimum working pressure of 100
psig (6.9 bar).

† When securing the air hose, fluid hose,
and high voltage cable together, take care
not to use items such as wire or anything
that might cut into the hoses or cable. If
wire ties are used, they should only be tight
enough to secure the cable and not so tight
that they might restrict fluid and air flow.
W A R N I N G !
Adjust the length of the air hose to the high voltage
power supply and install the fitting to the hose.
PAINT PREPARATION
A proper paint mixture is essential to electrostatic
operation. Paint test equipment may be obtained
through your Ransburg distributor. Reference
Technical Manual "Paint Related Information for
REA, REM, Vector, and M90 Guns" for paint for-
mulation information. For further paint formulation
and testing procedures, consult your Ransburg
distributor and/or your paint supplier.
† An air filter MUST be installed to permit
proper functioning of the air flow switch in-
side the power supply.

2. Ransburg recommends that a fluid filter be
installed at the output of the fluid supply (pressure
pot, pump, circulating system, etc.). It is the end
user's responsibility to install the proper filter that
meets their system's requirements.
Air Hose Recommendation
Ransburg recommends using a 78547-XX air
hose assembly that may be ordered through
your authorized Ransburg distributor. This hose
performs best with the Vector to reduce air hose
stiffness along with weight reduction. Available
hose lengths are listed in "Accessories" in the
"Parts Identification" section of this manual.
